title: Magnesium lithospermate B ameliorates cisplatin-induced injury in cultured renal epithelial cells.
abstract: A study was conducted to clarify whether magnesium lithospermate B ameliorates cisplatin-induced renal injury in terms of lactate dehydrogenase and malondialdehyde leakage from LLC-PK1 cells in culture. Magnesium lithospermate B was shown to suppress the cytotoxicity of cisplatin, the suppressive effect increasing with the dose of magnesium lithospermate B.
